EVENING GALA THURSDAY NIGHT Some Like It Hot Director: Billy Wilder; Writers: R. Thoeren, M. Logan Cast: Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon www.MGM.com (122 min. / B&W) Thurs. 6/6 At Dusk (on Water Street between Main & Mary Streets) (CLASSIC) – When two musicians witness a mob hit, they flee the state in an all-female band, disguised as women. This outrageous comedy farce is widely acknowledged as one of the most hilarious films ever made. The ribald film is a clever combination of many elements: a spoof of the 1920’s – 30’s gangster films with period costumes and speakeasies, and romance in a quasi-screwball com- edy with one central joke – entangled and deceptive identities, reversed sex roles and cross-dressing. FF This exceptional film received six Academy Award nominations and was the all-time highest grossing comedy up to its time, and one of the most successful films of 1959. This was Marilyn Monroe’s sec- Some Like It Hot ond film with legendary screen director Billy Wilder.
